If you’ve spent most of your time with Starfield so far creating and customising a fleet of spacefaring craft in the ship builder, a new mod is offering you the chance to turn your hobby into a career for your character.
That’s right, your encyclopedic knowledge of and passion for habs and thrusters now has the potential to actually earn you some credits, rather than solely leading your balance to suffer every time you see something new on offer from HopeTech or Deimos. And hey, it seems like a marginally less taxing occupation than bounty hunting or cargo hauling.
The mod that aims to let you earn a living as the cosmic version of those blokes from Pimp My Ride is called ‘Astroneer’ and is the work of modder Codegangsta and voice actor Elisabeth Saenz. As a “freelance ship designer”, you’ll be able to take new radiant quests at the game’s mission boards that revolve around building or modifying specific ships to match the desires/needs of a client.
